IT was a case of ‘spot the difference’ this week as Warrington gear up for tomorrow’s ‘Clubcall’ at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

For those of you that haven’t been paying attention, Clubcall means the Wolves get to pick their own opponents for next week’s Super League qualifying semi-final, but Warrington coach Tony Smith doesn’t appear to think much of the concept.

Here’s what he said after last Friday’s win over Huddersfield.

“I’m not going to be part of it.

“I’ll leave it up to other people; I’ve never been a fan of it.”

Fair enough. And for what it’s worth (ie. nothing) I’m not a fan of Clubcall either.

In contrast to his head coach, Warrington chairman Professor Steven Broomhead struck a more conciliatory tone later in the week.

He said: “Much conversation and speculation will go on amongst our supporters which will add excitement to the final stages of what has been an entertaining, competitive and hugely enjoyable season for the Wolves.”

Whatever way you cut it, someone at Warrington is going to have to pick a semi-final opponent at about 7pm tomorrow night.

If Huddersfield came through last night’s game against Leeds (after I wrote this column), I would think it’s odds-on they’ll be selected having gone down 47-0 to the Wolves just over a week ago.

But if Leeds come through, there may actually be a decision to be made. The Rhinos’ form of late has been very good.

If that’s the case, and Wigan come through tomorrow against Catalans, I would love to see the Wolves surprise everyone and pick the Warriors.
